Helping Veterans Complete College is the Main Goal

2/12/2013

National efforts to increase veterans’ college completion is getting a big push from the White House, which is looking for ways to work with higher education institutions to encourage military service personnel and veterans to attain postsecondary credentials, such as degrees or certificates.

The Obama administration initially focused on college access for military personnel by expanding benefits through the new GI Bill and revising education and training programs for veterans, such as the Transition Assistance Program.
